3 bed end terrace house for sale

High Street, Codicote, Hitchin SG4

Summary:
Bryan Bishop and Partners are delighted to bring to the market “The Old Wool Shop” this charming three-bedroom cottage in the heart of the vibrant and popular village of Codicote offered chain free. Presented in immaculate decorative order throughout, this lovely family home enjoys a wonderful combination of traditional and modern that work together in complete harmony, retaining and cleverly emphasising many of the original period features, such as fireplaces and exposed brick chimney breasts, alongside superb contemporary carpentry displayed in the staircase and numerous cupboards. Bridging the gap between old and new in great style are the full complement of modern yet traditionally styled radiators and the fabulous oak beams.

Accommodation:
This is a pretty house, both inside and out, and the attractive front door, inset with multiple textured glass panels, set alongside a large bow window is a typical example of what will greet you once you step inside the dining room.

The dining room is a light, bright room thanks to the original bow window and part glazed door to the front, and basks in the warm tones of the exposed brick walls and chimney, as well as the beautifully crafted solid wood staircase with glass infill panel and useful built-in cupboard. The traditionally styled cast iron radiator adds a touch of drama to the space, with a superb solid wood floor linking together perfectly with the contemporary roof support beams to provide a wonderful dining room that doubles up nicely as a reception area for guests.

Occupying the centre of the house, yet still enjoying plenty of natural daylight through the side facing window, is the superb kitchen. This is a premium installation that absolutely typifies the wonderful approach clearly on display throughout this lovely home, with sleek, modern design of the highest quality providing all the practical facilities a busy family might need, yet celebrating and sympathetically preserving the origins of the building. Substantial storage is provided by a comprehensive array of wall and floor mounted cupboards fitted around three sides of the perimeter, also housing an integrated hob, oven and extractor hood, with plenty of designated spaces provided for free standing appliances such as a dishwasher, washer/dryer and fridge/freezer. Crisp, pale grey tiled splashbacks are neatly illuminated by subtle spotlights, which also help create a delightful feature of the exposed brick chimney breast.

Adjoining the kitchen to the rear is the lovely living room, a generous room at over fifteen feet long which also enjoys nicely balanced proportions. A large window to the rear, sitting alongside glazed double doors, ensures the room stays light and bright, whilst giving nice easy access out into the garden. This room is comfortably large enough for multiple sofas and chairs, making it a great space for spending time together as a family, but also coping easily when you have visitors.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms accessed from a landing with a triple wardrobe, and the family bathroom, which has a bath with a shower attachment and screen. All of the bedrooms are beautifully decorated and feature modern radiators in traditional styles, whilst also having kept the original sash window in one of the bedrooms. The large main bedroom also having one wall of exposed brick, a stunning, ornate cast iron fireplace and a fabulous built in wardrobe with an integral cupboard above it. There is also a fully boarded loft space accessible by a loft ladder on the landing.

Outside:
There is convenient, secure access through a side gate directly into the rear garden, which is secure and enclosed and so ideal for pets and children. South-West facing, generously proportioned and very well laid out, the garden offers a nicely balanced mix of decoratively paved patio, a good sized lawn and a number of raised flower beds, along with two sheds, the larger of which has power to it, and further borders with an abundant variety of mature bushes and shrubs. A lovely place to spend time with family and friends.

Location:
This superb home is perfectly placed to benefit from the great amenities within Codicote Village, being positioned within the village itself right on the high street. This ideal location also offers excellent connectivity, with J6 of the A1(M) reachable within a few minutes drive, and Welwyn North, Knebworth, and Stevenage train stations all within a 15-minute radius, thereby offering a lovely semi-rural setting, yet still with exceptional links to both London and The North. The village itself boasts a variety of amenities, including a butcher's shop, restaurants, pubs, a chemist, convenience stores, dry cleaners and bakers. As well as the Codicote C of E primary school adjudged "Outstanding" by Ofsted.
